“The Sahara will humble you, and change your looks, and your attitudes about life” This was my experience on my six days transit, through the Sahara Desert! 
The Sahara doesn’t cooperate with you, it is unfriendly, it is harsh, it is unforgiven, and the margin for error on the Sahara is so slim, you make mistakes, and you may not come back home!
The Sahara is one of the most inhospitable places on earth, it is scorching hot, the gust of wind is like hurricane force winds, and the fine sand blowing through the strong winds is like a thousand needles trying to poke through your gears into your body.
Everyday in our lives we experience some acts of grace and love from people, but at some times, we witness some acts of generosity and kindness on a monumental scale, performed by ordinary people living their lives in an extraordinary way, to make a difference in their world,
By demonstrating a deep sense of humanity, towards the under privileged around them.
This was what I witnessed at NURUL RAHMAN VOLUNTARY SCHOOL SALLARE QUARTERS HAUSAWA KANO

It is a charity day school for orphaned children & those who’ve lost just their fathers, in the community. The children are not only schooled but also fed breakfast and lunch and also provided Medicare, all free.
I recalled the hard day after riding 400km from Bamako Mali to the Cote d’Ivorean border & was denied entry into Cote d’Ivorie & left with the option of returning back to Bamako riding 400km again or divert to Sikasso a border town in Mali with Burkina Faso another 420km away
I felt the cries, anger and energy of every Nigerians and other Africans and also good people around the world urging the Cote d’ivorean government to open up their border for me to ingress the country.
The cries were loud and really loud. However, there are some other voices not so loud on the social media waves but really loud at the corridors of authorities and government officials, where decisions that matters are made.
I had my medicals’ today at @MYHEALTHLANE!
It was a comprehensive medical checks and it was COMPLEMENTARY!
The first “aha moment” for me arriving at HEALTHLANE was the cleanliness and serenity of the facility, it felt like a home!

The second “aha moment” was the quality of the equipments and standard, it was world class, that will probably rival the standard at Mayo Clinic!
I got all my vitals checked, without any radiation exposure or painful intrusive processes.

It was a highly positive experience for me, and a loud sound of hope that things can, and will indeed be better in Nigeria!
Thank you @MYHEALTHLANE for having me, it was a big eye opener and a pleasant experience at your facility, thank you!

A biker friend Dan, took the odometer readings on Eagle today, and it reads 11,301km, which represents the total distance I have travelled on eagle from London to Accra Ghana.
Of this figure, the total distance I covered in Europe was about 3,200km, while the remaining 8,101km has been in Africa.
Being opportuned to have travelled this huge distance across Africa from the North to the West of Africa is a uique opportunity, a great blessing which I am fortunate to experience.
